B-Boy

For the few people that enjoy this or look forward to stuff like this I hope to offer and learn as much as I can from other people that can contribute to this page. I JohnQ am not a expert, this is just what I think and what I know. Discussion for personal topics and issues.

What is b-boy/a b-boy?
A b-boyer is someone who dances to the break, commonly mistermed a breakdancer. The difference is that b-boyers are the dancers that are part of the huge community where respect is found between relationships of other b-boyers. Breakdancers just do the dance and aren't really part of the bigger picture.

Now with that out of the way, let me describe a few main aspects in B-boy.

Toprock - B-boy started out with toprock before it moved onto the floor. This is the main dancing aspect that is found in breakdance.



Drops - Simply transitions from up high toprock to the floor where advanced techniques can be performed



Floorwork/Footwork - Floorwork is the second most important part of B-boy and it is simply moves: usually done with the legs, on
the floor.



Freezes - Cool way to end off a routine, put a break or moment in your routine or simply to look stylish, freezes are fundamental in the world of b-boy. They can also link moves and are prerequisites of others.



Powermoves - Moves that cannot regularly be done by normal people and require strength, technique, balance, and a lot of hard work.
